For several decades, Birgit Nilsson was the superstar on all the world's opera stages. In her day, she was called the greatest dramatic soprano of the century. In this programme, viewers meet Birgit Nilsson in her south Swedish home, as she looks back and takes us with her on a journey to the days when she was the toast of La Scala, Milan; the Metropolitan, New York; the Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires; the Vienna Opera… "La Nilsson" has succeeded as few others in combining great artistic integrity with broad general popularity. Even though nearly a quarter of century has passed since she concluded her opera career, she continues to receive letters—and even flowers—from admirers the world over.
